Preliminary information

This guide is designed to provide the most complete and exhaustive information the operator needs to

correctly and safely install and operate the following incremental magnetic modular encoders: SMRI2

and SMRI5.

SMRI2 and SMRI5 modular encoders are designed to measure linear or angular displacements on

industrial machines and automation systems. The measurement system includes a magnetic ring,

conversion electronics and a magnetic sensor.

The ring has alternating magnetic north/south poles that are magnetized at a fixed distance called the

pole pitch (see Figure 7). The pole pitch is 2 mm for SMRI2; it is 5 mm for SMRI5. The conversion

electronics inside the sensor translates the magnetic fields of the ring into electrical signals equivalent to

those of an incremental encoder or a linear scale. The readhead must be paired with the appropriated

magnetic ring: MRI/...-2-... for SMRI2; MRI/...-5-... for SMRI5; see also the “3.2 Sensor and ring

combination” section on page 10.

The measuring system can include specific sensor and ring with additional magnetic track for the

transmission of a Reference signal.

Please note that:

•encoders having order code SMRIx-xx-x-xxx-R-... are equipped with Reference sensor;

•rings having order code MRI/xxxZ-... have the Reference track;

•encoders having order code SMRIx-xx-x-xxx-N-... are not equipped with Reference sensor;

•rings having order code MRI/xxx-... have not the Reference track.

WARNING

When the “R” Reference signal is available (encoders having order code SMRIx-

xx-x-xxx-R-... and rings having order code MRI/xxxZ-...) please pay attention to

the mounting side of the magnetic ring: there is the incremental track on one

side and the Reference track on the other side. The mark punched in the frame

of the ring shows the side where the Reference track is coded. It further

indicates the point when the Reference signal is transmitted. See Figure 4.

WARNING

When the sensor is installed on magnetic rings having a 10 mm / 0.4” wide

magnetic surface, line up both the sensor and the ring on the central axis; as

previously stated, if the Reference track is provided pay attention to the

mounting direction of the sensor and the ring.

When magnetic rings having a 5 mm / 0.2” wide magnetic surface are used, line

up the sensor and the ring as shown in Figure 5; please consider that the

incremental sensor is located laterally in the sensing head (see Figure 1). With 5

mm rings the mounting direction of the ring makes no difference (but be sure

that the sensor is properly aligned on the correct side!).

4.4 Connection of the shield

For signals transmission always use shielded cables. The cable shielding must be

connected properly to the metal ring nut 3 of the connector in order to ensure

a good earthing through the frame of the device. To do this disentangle and

shorten the shielding 1 and then bend it over the part 2; finally place the ring

nut 3 of the connector. Be sure that the shielding 1 is in tight contact with the

ring nut 3.

4.5 Ground connection

Minimize noise by connecting the cable shield (or the connector housing) and

the sensor to ground. Make sure that ground is not affected by noise. The

connection point to ground can be situated both on the device side and on the

user’s side. The best solution to minimize the interference must be carried out by

the user. You are advised to provide the ground connection as close as possible

to the encoder.

4.6 AB0, /AB0 output channels

Figure 7 - Example with interpolation factor x4

The conversion electronics inside the sensor translates the magnetic fields of the

ring into electrical signals equivalent to those of an incremental encoder or

similar incremental optical devices.

The frequency of the output signal is proportional to the measuring speed and

the rotational speed of the ring.

Please note that the “R” Reference signal (0, /0) is provided once per revolution

of the magnetic ring (see the “4.8 Reference “R”” section on page 21).

In the order code of the encoder you can find information about the

interpolation factor.

EXAMPLE

SMRI2-L-1-1000-N-...: interpolation factor = 1000.

MAN SMRI2_SMRI5 E 1.6 Electrical connection 19 of 28

SMRI2 • SMRI5

The interpolation factor is useful to calculate the number of encoder PPRs

(pulses per revolution).

You need to know also the number of poles of the magnetic ring, the

information can be found in the order code of the magnetic ring.

EXAMPLE

MRI/114-182-2-100: number of poles = 182.

The number of encoder PPRs results from the following calculation:

interpolation factor * number of ring poles

EXAMPLE

As in the previous examples, let's suppose we are using the SMRI2-L-1-1000-

N-... encoder paired with the MRI/114-182-2-100 magnetic ring where 182 is

the number of ring poles. As you can see in the order code, the interpolation

factor is x1000. We have to calculate the number of edges per revolution

(intended after multiplying by 4) first.

The number of edges per revolution results from:

interpolation factor * number of ring poles

So, in our example we will get:

1000 * 182 = 182,000 edges per revolution

Encoder PPRs result from the following calculation:

Encoder PPRs = Edges/revolution = 182,000 = 45,500 PPR

4 4

WARNING

The position value issued by the sensor is expressed in pulses; to convert the

pulses into a metric measuring unit (useful, for instance, for knowing the

position of a linear axis controlled through the encoder) you must multiply the

number of detected pulses by the linear resolution expressed in millimetres or

micrometres.
